A short article outlining how to understand your email a little better.(Note for the more technical - don't think I'm overlooking the distinction between 'From' address and the 'Envelope Return Address' in what follows, I'm not. To keep things simpler, I'm using the term 'From' address throughout).

A few recent Letters from Freelancers comment on the situation in Australia. Shout99 is grateful to Justine Noy from Melbourne-based, Chessell Williams Lawyers, for allowing us to reproduce her reseach paper 'Uncertainty and Taxing Times' (attached) which shows that it is not only the UK which has problems associated with uncertainty.

Shout99 is holding two seminars for freelancers and their advisers to show how to avoid the threats which can cost small businesses thousands of pounds; and how to make the most of the opportunities to put your business ahead of the rest.

Freelancers are invited to contribute comments to this online bullet point summary. Comments will be incorporated into a paper that I will be presenting at the House of Commons on 4th March 2003. The seminar will be chaired by Mark Prisk MP and will be attended by representative bodies with an interest in this sector.
